Diner en Blanc is Un-American Nonsense
God bless America, because Philadelphia’s bougiest excuse to pick up after yourself is BACK for another year of pretentious snacking and binge drinking as thousands of well-meaning but idiotic Philadelphians prepare to haul their own food, their own chairs, and their own tables to an undisclosed “historic” mystery location to eat tepid Wegman’s olive bar […] The post Diner en Blanc is Un-American Nonsense appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Footage of LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown Working Out Together is Miraculous
Don’t get me wrong: I’ve been having a good time thinking and talking and blogging about the new Sixers squad for the last month. It’s great. I’m still very excited. If I sit down and really think about it for a few moments, it’s still pretty hard to believe this team actually came together. It’s […] The post The Footage of LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown Working Out Together is Miraculous appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Patrick Beverley Says LeBron Would Enjoy Being on the Sixers More if He Lives in Philly
Looks like no one told Patrick Beverley that the “LeBron James might live in New York while playing for the Sixers” discourse pretty much ended a couple weeks ago: On Tuesday, the former/very brief Sixer and host of The Pat Bev Show said LeBron should live in Philly if he wants to really enjoy and […] The post Patrick Beverley Says LeBron Would Enjoy Being on the Sixers More if He Lives in Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Red Cards at Subaru Park After Quinn Sullivan Delivers a Spinebuster to Inter Miami Player Who Tried to Iverson Him
We had an old-fashioned donnybrook at Subaru Park on Wednesday night at the end of a 2-2 draw between the Philadelphia Union and Inter Messi F.C. – There’s quite a bit to unpack here: It was good form from Quinn, who got Fray with a single-leg/high-crotch and drove him into the dirt, like Cooooooooper DeJean […] The post Red Cards at Subaru Park After Quinn Sullivan Delivers a Spinebuster to Inter Miami Player Who Tried to Iverson Him appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Aaron Nola is All the Way Back
The Phillies are HOT. They’ve now won six in a row with a 4-1 victory over the Marlins on Wednesday night, completing their second sweep in a row. Aaron Nola was dealing, with one earned run in seven innings: Noles threw 100 pitches for only the second time this season. The knuckle curve once again […] The post Aaron Nola is All the Way Back appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Here’s All the Stuff You Should See From the Flo Rida Concert After the Phillies Game
The Phillies beat the Marlins 6-4 on Tuesday night, but that’s not what this blog about. This one is about Flo Rida. If you’re unaware, he played a concert at Citizens Bank Park as part of the team’s concert series. The Phillies have been doing these post-game concerts at least once a year since 2016 […] The post Here’s All the Stuff You Should See From the Flo Rida Concert After the Phillies Game appeared first on Crossing Broad .
Maybe Chuck Fletcher Put Together this Army Deal: Re-enlist for Two Years and You Get to Play GTA 6 for Four Days
editor’s note: We’re not writing a god damn thing about A.J. Brown or the Patriots today. Nobody cares. It’s a joint practice. Nobody “wins” or “loses” a practice. Give me a fucking break. Check out this story from Eleanor Watson, Jennifer Jacobs, and James LaPorta at CBS News: Some U.S. military members who are itching […] The post Maybe Chuck Fletcher Put Together this Army Deal: Re-enlist for Two Years and You Get to Play GTA 6 for Four Days appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Paddy Pimblett Just Hanging Out in Philly After UFC 330, Having the Time of His Life
Paddy Pimblett was in town for UFC 330 on Saturday night and seemed to have a great time. He got a big crowd pop when he was shown on the big screen, taking a bite of his cheesesteak and doing his little hopping-arm-waving dance: That was good stuff. That’s fun. So fun, in fact, that […] The post Paddy Pimblett Just Hanging Out in Philly After UFC 330, Having the Time of His Life appeared first on Crossing Broad .
RIP to Frank Beard of the Criminally Underrated ZZ Top
Frank Beard died at the age of 77: Beard was the only ZZ Top member without a beard, which was always good for a laugh. He was also one hell of a drummer, underrated in my opinion and the gold standard for what we’d call “in the pocket” playing. We’d say a drummer is “in […] The post RIP to Frank Beard of the Criminally Underrated ZZ Top appeared first on Crossing Broad .
It’s Time to Drop the Underdog Mantra from Philadelphia Sports
The fit between Philadelphia and underdog identity has been hand in glove for decades. This is a blue-collar city. A pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mindset. You’re never afraid to back down and you carry yourself with a grittiness that can’t be matched. But with this comes an overarching theme that we aren’t supposed to get the job done.

Pat McAfee’s Show Cutting Off a First Take Bill Rasmussen Tribute Was Poetry

Sounds Like Getting Sixers Season Tickets Wasn’t as Brutal as Everyone Expected
Of all the early storylines that came from LeBron James signing with the Sixers, one of the loudest has been concerns about ticket prices – and for good reason. Screenshots of early prices for the home opener looked daunting. Forbes was reporting Sixers preseason ticket prices jumped 142% from last year. The LeBron effect seemed […] The post Sounds Like Getting Sixers Season Tickets Wasn’t as Brutal as Everyone Expected appeared first on Crossing Broad .
If the NFL Wants a Team Permanently Based Outside of the United States, it Could Simply Move the Browns, or Jets
At ESPN: As the NFL continues to expand its international footprint, commissioner Roger Goodell says it is inevitable that the league will eventually have a team permanently based outside the United States.

I Support the Philadelphia Union’s Strategy of Bringing Back All the Good Players They Previously Sold to Europe
Union news: McKenzie is a Union academy product out of Delaware. He was a starter on the 2020 team that won the Supporters’ Shield, which earned him a winter transfer to Belgian club KRC Genk.

LeBron Jerseys are So Popular that They’re Being Stolen From the Cherry Hill Dick’s
At long last, they’re finally here.

Do Not Let the Philadelphia Phillies Get Hot
The Phils beat the Marlins 6-5 on Monday night to win their fourth game in a row and improve to 68-58. They’re 11-5 in August and would go in to the playoffs as the second Wild Card team if the season ended today.

Penn State Ranked Inside the Top 20 in Preseason AP Poll
Let’s get it back to college football with the first AP poll: Indiana was ranked 20th at the start of last season, then went 16-0 to win the Natty. Penn State was ranked 2nd and lost Drew Allar to injury while firing James Franklin en route to a 7-6 season.

NHL Network Ranks Dan Vladar Eighth on its List of “Top 10 Goalies Right Now”
Now we get it back to the Flyers: Stumbling upon this tweet stirred many emotions in me. The first one, of course, was amazement. It’s weird to see a Flyers goalie on any sort of good list. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my life. My guarded, knee-jerk reaction was to think it’s […] The post NHL Network Ranks Dan Vladar Eighth on its List of “Top 10 Goalies Right Now” appeared first on Crossing Broad .
The Union are 4-0-0 in League Play Since the World Cup Break, and May Never Lose Again
The U were down 2-0 on Sunday night in New York and scored three second-half goals to win it: This was not the greatest game of soccer ever played. NYC converted a couple of penalty kicks and Milan Iloski should have had a first-half brace. But the Union did what they do, which is hang […] The post The Union are 4-0-0 in League Play Since the World Cup Break, and May Never Lose Again appeared first on Crossing Broad .

Music Review: Pat McAfee’s Debut Album Finally Answers the Question – “What if Jelly Roll Was Somehow Worse?”
I’ve always liked Pat McAfee because he’s a fellow West Virginia Mountaineer who wore the uniform during the most successful era in football program history. He played on the teams that beat Georgia and Oklahoma in BCS Bowl games and is part of a heralded group that includes Pat White, Steve Slaton, and Owen Schmitt.

10 Wrap-Up Thoughts on UFC 330 in South Philly
UFC 330 broke the attendance and gate records at Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philly, according to the UFC: There were some very small corners of the upper bowl that had empty seats, likely the result of resale tickets that weren’t claimed. Otherwise the place was packed to the gills. MMA is obviously different from […] The post 10 Wrap-Up Thoughts on UFC 330 in South Philly appeared first on Crossing Broad .
